I. ISRAELTE PAIHKHIAKNA THU (1-12):
Sawltak Paul hunlai a Israelte khalam mit mialna ziak a Pathian diktatna theilou, ginna theilou, Pathian thugen theitheilou ahihna un Pathian hotdamna ah posiah ahih uleh Pathian in paikhia taktak hiam? chih Paul in a dawnna ahi. Paikhia chihna kammal, ‘apotheo’ in muhphak louh a koihmang chihna ahi. Paul in a dawnna ah, ‘me genetoi’ a zang a, ‘thil hithei ngeilou’ (impossible), Greek pau a thilhilou genna kammal khauhpen a zang hi.1 Pathian a muanhuai ziak in a teelte paikhe ngeilou ahi. Israelte kia hilou in Khrist gingtute, Khrist itna a kipan Gimthuakna, lungngaihna, sawina, tam, vuaktanna, lauhuaina, temsau, in Khrist a Pathian itna a pan hon khen kei ding a chi hi.
(a) Paul, Israelmi, paihkhiak hilou (t.1):
Pathian in Israelte paikhelou ahihdan chetna masapen tuh amah a kichi hi. Amah gingtu khat phet hilou in ‘Sawltak lian’ (apostle) ahi. Israel mi diktak, Abraham suan, Benjamin nam, ahihdan a gen hi. Philippite kiang ah, “A ni giatni a zeksum, Israel chi, Benjamin nam, Hebru mi kholdiak, dan lam a Pharisai; Phatuamngaihna lam chi lehang saptuamte sawi; dan a diktatna lam chi lehang gensiatbei ka hi” a kichi hi (Phil 3.4-5). Korinthte kiang ah, “Pathian hehpihna ziak in ka hihhih ka hita; huan a hehpihna honpiak a thawn in a omkei a, huchih naksang in amau tengteng sang in ka semgim zaw hi;” a chi hi (1 Kor 15.10b). Paul, Israel mi diktak leng Pathian in pailou ahi.
(b) Elija tangthu a pan (t.2- 4):
Elija, Israel kumpi Ahab hunlai a zawlnei ahi. Ba’al zawlnei zali leh sawmnga leh Asher zawlnei, Jezebel dohkan a ann um zelzel zali toh kidemna a vualzou in amaute Kishon lui a that zoupa ahi. Hiai zawlnei Pathian sang in amah kingai thupizaw in, “Toupa, na zawlneite a hihlum ua, na maitam a hihchim ua, kei kia nutsiat in ka om a, kei leng hihlup a hontum uh” a chi hi. Pathian in, “Baal ma a khukdin ngeilou mi sangsagih kei din ka hawi hi” chiin a dawng hi. Israel gam a Pathian hing siampu ding omlou a zawlnei in a ngaihtuah lai in Pathian in sang sagih amah a ding in a hawi hi. Pathian nasep haksa sa a, phunphunte sang a siamzaw Pathian in nei ahi. 2
(c) Israelte Lungtang Khauhna! (t.7-12):
“Israel mite’n a zon uh a mu kei uh. Telte’n bel a mu uh, a dangte tengteng a nang gawpta uhi”, a chi (t.6b). Nanggawp kichi ‘khauhsak’ (harden) chihna ahi. “Himahleh Toupa’n tuni tan in theisiam ding lungtang, mu thei ding mitte, za thei ding bilte a honpe naikei hi” (Diut 29.4; Isa 29.10). Israelte lungtang khauhsakna, a kiang ua lusukna kha, mu theilou mitte, za theilou bilte piak a om ziak tuh ‘Jentelte hotdamna ding’ a hi (t.11). Israelte kisuihna leh pukna ziak in hehpihna kawng hon ahi (Isa 49.5-6). Israel in Messsia a nial ziak ua Jentelte hotdamna ahihleh Jentelte ziak a Israel gingloute’n hotdamna a tan ding uh Pathian thilgel ahi chihna ahi. “Amau paihkhiakna bawn khovel toh kituahnawnna ahihleh amau deihnawnna sihna a kipan hinnawnna loungal bang ahi dia?” a chi hi (t. 15).
II. JUDATE PUUK ZIAK A JENTELTE HAMPHATNA: (13-24):
David in, “A ma ua a dohkan uh thang hi henla; khamuangtak a a omlai un pial suak hen. A mitte uh, a muh theihlouhna ding un, hihmial in om hen; a kongte uh kivuang sak gige in” a chi hi (Ps 69.22-23). Israelte suanpen leh kingakna Dan Laibu leh Zawlneite laibute ahi. Hiai laigelhte zui a kichih lai un amau ading in thang leh pial suak in, Jesu Khrist mu theilou in Messia dang a lamen uhi. Judate puukna leh lusukna Jentelte Hotdamna ding a Pathian thilgel ahi (Rom 11.11).
(a) Jentelte’n Tanchinhoih Ngahta uh(13-14):
Jentelte hotdam a hihtheihna ding un Israelte dohkan pial leh pukna a suak a chi hi. Dohkan, Bitna munpen genna ahi. Israelte’n Dan laibu leh Zawlneite laibute a Bitna pen ua ngai a, a zuih lai un amau a ding in pial leh thang a suak hi. Judate’n Jesu a nial sung un hotdamna kong kihong in, Juda hi in Jentel hileh, “Amah kipahpih a pom, a min gingtate tengteng Pathian tate suahtheihna a pia hi” (Jn 1.12). Paul in “Ka chipihte ka hazatsak theihna ding leh khenkhatte ka hotdam theihna ding in” a chi hial hi (Rom 11.14).
(b) Jentelte Tanchinhoih Palai (15-16):
Paul in Jentelte hotdamna pansan a chipihte hotdam a ut hi. Hotdamna kongkhak miteng ading in hon ahi. Israelte nam thu in hotdam ahi theikei ua, mimal ah bel Jesu Khrist hondampa in a sang thei uhi. Jentelte’n hotdamna a tan uh Israel gingloute hotdamna honghih ding Paul in a deih hi. “Amau paihkhiakna bawn khovel toh kituahnawnna ahihleh, amau deih nawnna ding sihna a kipan hin nawnna loungal bang ahi dia?” a chi hi (Rom 11.15). Hiai thu gennop Israel mimal khat in Jesu a san leh khalam sihna apan hin nawnna leh Abraham tate taktak hi ding uhi. Suangtute bang a zung Siangthou hi ding chihna ahi a, thohnawnna thu genna hilou a hi.3
(c) Phuhlut Hamphatna (17-24):
Jentelte’n Pathian hotdamna a hamphatna a tan uh Israelmite ginlouhna ziak a satkhiak a om ziak uh ahi. Jentelte, piandan a Olive taklou, Pathian hehpihna ziak a Olive sing hinna koppih a phuhlut a om ahihman un hiang dangte tung a kisaktheihna ding omlou a chi hi.4 Olive zung hauhna koppih a phuhlut na hi a, uang kenla, lau zaw in.

Huan satkhiak a om hiangte leng a gintak ualeh phuhlut in a om ding uhi. Piandan a Olive sing hilou, Olive hiang a phuhlut a na omleh hiangtakte phuhlut hisem ding uh a chi hi.
III. JUDATE TUNDING NAWNNA DING: (25-32):

Hiai thuguk hiai ahi, “Jentelte buchinna a hongtun masiah Israel mi khenkhatte tung ah siatna a hongtung tadih hi, huchiin Israel mitengteng hotdam in a om ding uh” chih ahi. Paul in a thuguk gen (a) Tu hotdamna hun ah Israel mi tamzaw lungtang khauhsak in a om; (b) Hiai hun mah in Jentelte hotdamna bukimna tung ding hi; (c) Tunung, Toupa hongpai chiang in Israel mi tengteng hotdam ahi ding uhi. Zion a Hondampa hongpai chiang in Juda puaninte hondam ding a, Jerusalem a tengte a humbit ding. David inkawte leh Jerusalem a tengte tung ah hehpihna leh thungetna kha sungbaw ding a a sutpa lam a en ding uhi (Zek 12.7-14).
(b) Pathian Mai a Israel Dinmun: Israelte Pathian in paikhia bang in kigen mahleh, “Tanchinhoih lam ngaihtuah in, nou ziak in melma ahi ua; tel thu lam ngaihtuah in bel a pipute uh ziak in deihtakte ahi uhi” a chi hi (t 26). A tung a kigen bang in Israel tatlekna Jentelte’n hotdamna a ngahna ding uh ahihna ah Tanchinhoih Lam ah Pathian melma ahi uh. Himahleh teel lamthu ah Abraham, Isak leh Jacobte ziak in deihtakte ahi uhi, a chi. Nidanglai in Pathian thu a gingta kei ua, Jentelte’n zahngaihna a mu uhi. Gimthuak hun ah Israel in a Messia uh sang ding uh, “Haksa a na om ua, na tung ua hiai thil tengteng a hongtun chiang in, Toupa na Pathian uh lam na hong nga khongkhong ding ua, a thu na zuita ding uhi (Diut 4.30).
(c) Israel Leh Jentel Kibatna: Pathian in a Hotdamna thilgel a Jentelte’n tan a neih samna ding un Israelte ginlouhna ah a khum hi. Israel hi in Jentelte tung a a hehpihna a latsak theihna ding in mi tengteng ‘ginlouhna ah’ a khum vekta hi (Rom 11.32). Hiai a ginlouhna kammal, ‘apeitheia’ apan teisawn ahi a, ‘thumanlouhna’ chihna ahi. A gen bel, ‘thuhilhtheihlouh’ hiam ‘tupmawng a nial teitei’ chihna ahi. Pathian in mikhial kisikte tung a ginna leh kisikna tawn a hehpihna a latsak theihna ding in mi tengteng ginlouhna leh thumanlouhna ah a khumvek hi. Israel hi in Jentel mikhial himah lehang khelhna kisik a, Jesu Khrist ginna a sanna ah a kibang in Pathian hehpihna i ngahthei uhi. Hiai hotdamna manbei i limsak ding uhi.5
Thukhitna: Israelte ginlouh-na ziak a paihkhiakna Jentelte hotdamna ding a Pathian thilgel ahihdan leh hun tomkha sung paihkhiak himahle uh tunding nawn a a om ding thu sinsakna (theology) lapau (poetry) a hongsuak hi.
